A Nation On Call

Compatriots of democracy,
yet again witness a change of power,

With eyes no longer blind, 
we'd hold you accountable this time,

for revival and hope renewed,
we will stand with you

though times are perilous,
and  life a little rocky

but in this whirlwind of dust,
the people are resilient

we are first compatriots of democracy,
and on this windfall,

we rise and obey
the clarion call.
